Awful and Awesome Ep 343: Laapataa Ladies, Mr & Mrs Smith, The Holdovers The Awful & Awesome Entertainment Wrap

Abbas: Did you see? Karan Johar has put up a high production quality pre-wedding video of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Our pre-wedding videos are by some random ‘Chandu video wala’. 
Nainika: No, Abbas. You’re Bombay royalty. You should have one of your director friends come in and shoot your wedding with a film camera. 
Abbas: I think I’d get Suraj Barjatya, or maybe Quentin Tarantino. The joota-churai ceremony would be epic.
Nainika: Oh my god, you did not just say that. (laughs)
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abbas Momin and Nainika Singh Rathore discuss the movies The Holdovers and Laapataa Ladies, the series Mr and Mrs Smith, and the hullabaloo around Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding festivities.
